Q13. Waiting times for personal independence payment
tribunals in Wales have quadrupled over the past four
years. My constituent, Alan McKittrick, is suffering from
prostate cancer, angina, diabetes, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, arthritis, hernias, mental ill health,
dizziness, blackouts and ulcers, yet his initial PIP
claim was refused. He then waited 56 weeks for an appeal,
which he won. Will the Prime Minister apologise to Alan,
and when will she end this hostile environment towards
sick and disabled people? [905242]

Obviously, Members across this House raise issues about
the PIP process, and the Department for Work and Pensions
is consistently looking at the whole PIP process. One of
the issues that the hon. Gentleman raised in his question
was the health of the individual concerned. As he sits
for a Welsh constituency, I would have thought that, if
he wants to talk about health, he should talk to the
Labour Government in Wales.
